I wonder if we will see Doctors opening up cash only private practices?

“I wonder if we will see Doctors opening up cash only private practices?”

Yes, there have been multiple reports on this site over the last few months. Of course it will be outlawed at some point by the Marxist for all Doctors except those in DC.

There certainly will be—but that has NEVER BEEN THE PROBLEM. People think that the doctor is the medical care provider—and while he is the heart and the brains you’ve still got the huge body to contend with. That great big hospital—hundreds of millions of dollars in administration, equipment, technicians, maintenance...You’re just talking outpatient care.

I am sure some will

Cash only private practices will become a threat to Obamacare if they provide better care at a lower price, which they will.

So, we can expect them to regulated nearly out of existence, with the exception of a few that cater only to the rich & famous.

It's happened already. Google “Direct Primary Care” and “Concierge Medicine”.

Likely to see the transition to "Zero Payer" without stopping at "Single Payer" in primary care.

That is, if we want to see a doctor who graduated from an American medical school. The "free stuff" bunch may get to see a harried nurse or physician's assistant -- if they're lucky.

I heard that is SPECIFICALLY not allowed in the Obamacare bill.,

The first wife or child of a Congress person that dies under all this mess will sure get headlines.
